Whenever you want to second-guess the benefits of trading a veteran for prospects and "tanking," remember that the payoffs can be very sweet indeed. Witness Sean Manaea and what he just gave A's fans for the tail end of Ben Zobrist's time in Oakland in 2015. Some deals really are win-win, if you're patient for their payoffs.
Kenley Jansen's velocity in mid-90s in his ninth-inning relief appearance tonight. A step forward.
In his stunning no-hitter against the Red Sox, Oakland left-hander Sean Manaea joined some pretty exclusive company. The only Athletics pitchers with 10+ strikeouts in a no-hitter: Catfish Hunter, Dave Stewart and, now, Sean Manaea.

A no-hit bid with Chris Sale on the mound is always a possibility — but tonight in Oakland, it's been the other guy on the mound putting up zeroes as Sean Manaea has held the Red Sox hitless through 8 innings. How surprising is this no-hit bid? Well, the Oakland lefty was just one-year-old last time Boston was no-hit, in 1993.
White Sox manager Rick Renteria thought his players were able to compartmentalize their worry over ailing teammate Danny Farquhar during Saturday's loss to Houston.
Oakland A's starter Sean Manaea is deep in a very unexpected no-hit bid against the Red Sox. If he can get the final 3 outs, it will be Oakland's first no-hitter since Dallas Braden's perfect game in May of 2010. Boston hasn't been no-hit since 1993.

The White Sox have now allowed 10 or more runs in four straight games. According to ESPN Stats & Info, that ties the longest such streak in franchise history. If the streak reaches five on Sunday -- a definite possibility with the way Houston has been swinging the bats this weekend -- it would be the fifth time a team has given up five straight games of double-digit runs. The last team do it was the Philadelphia Phillies -- in 1929.
